Application filed October 21, 1912. To all 'w/wm itmag concern: the lever at 18 and to the carriage at 19. A c it known that I, JOHN EMERINGER, a hook bolt 20 passes through the projection citizen of the United States, residing at Ran- 18 on the carriage 12 and is adjusted by dolph, in the county of Cedar and State of means of the nut 21. One end of a chain 22 Nebraska, have invented a new and useful is connected to the hook end of the bolt 20 Gearing, of which the following is a speciand the opposite end passes partly around fication. the upper half of the double pulley 10 and is This invention relates to new and useful connected at 23, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. improvements in washing machines and A chain 24 is connected to the opposite end more particularly to means for operating of the carriage at 25 and passes partly the same. around the lower half of the pulley 10, in a The object of the invention is the prodirection opposite to that of chain 22, and is vision of operating mechanism which may connected at 26 as shown in Fig. 4. be secured to the cover of any of the well Having described the construction of the known forms of washing machines and invention in detail it is thought that the operation will be clearly understood. When the lever 16 is operated the carriage 12 is reciprocated through means of the rod 17, and the chains 22 and 24 being connected to opposite ends of the carriage, and extendingtaround the pulley in opposite directions,

easy in operation.

Vith these and other objects in view my invention consists in the following details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following specification and drawings, in will impart an oscillatory movement to the which agitator 9.

Figure 1 is a front elevation with a section What is claimed is:

broken away to show the interior. Fig. 2 is a top plan view. Fig. 3 is a front view of the operating mechanism. Fig. 1 is a rear view of the operating mechanism, and Fig. 5 is a detail of the carriage guide.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the tub mounted upon the supports 2 and 3 is the cover hinged at 1. he cover is secured in closed position by means of the fastener 5 and a plate 6 is secured to the cover for supporting it when open. A support for a clothes wringer is shown at 7.

A vertical shaft 8 extends through the cover and on the lower end thereof is secured the agitator 9 and on the upper end is secured a double pulley 10. Plates 11 are secured to the cover as clearly shown in Fig. 5 and form a guide for the reciprocating carriage 12. The carriage 12 is provided with the upwardly extending 1. An actuating mechanism comprising a support, a vertical shaft extending through the support, a pulley secured to the shaft, a bracket secured to the support and forming a bearing for the top of the shaft, a second bracket secured to the support, guide plates secured to the support, a reciprocating carriage operating between the brackets and having flanges on the bottom operating beneath the guide plates, a lever pivotally supported by and between the two brackets and connected to the carriage, and means connecting the carriage and pulley for operating the shaft.

2. An actuating mechanism comprising a support, a vertical shaft extending through the support, a double pulley secured to the shaft, a bracket secured to the support and forming a bearing for the top of the shaft, a second bracket secured to the support, guide plates secured to the support, a reciprocating carriage operating between the brackets and having flanges on the bottom operating beneath the guide plates, a lever pivotally supported by and between the two brackets, and connected to the carriage, and means connecting the carriage and pulley end as clearly shown. The forms a bearing for the upper end of the vertical shaft 8. A rod 17 is connected to for operating the shaft, said means comprisas my own, I have hereto affixed my signa= iifig a flexible band connected t f one ednd of ture in the presence of two witnesses.
